This is much too complex for most of us to be able to help with. Could I suggest you read the section on Ossia staves in the Notation Reference:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/modifying-single-staves#ossia-staves Then try to create a minimal example based on that - I would expect the example to have very few notes, but just to make the main staves and the lined-up ossia that you want. Once you've worked out how to do that, it should be easy to amend your real score to match. If you can't get a very simple example to work, please ask again here. -- Phil Holmes ----- Original Message ----- From: Anthony Vershov To: lilypond-user@gnu.org Sent: Friday, August 09, 2013 2:09 AM Subject: Ossia Staves I've been working on replicating an edition of the Fourth Concert by Georg Golterman (see attachment "fourth_concert.ly"). This particular edition requires, at the end of the first part, two smaller ossia staves that are aligned directly above their respective main staves. I've managed to successfully recreate these two ossia staves on their own in a separate document (see attachment "ossia_staves.ly"). However, when I insert the code of ossia_staves.ly directly at the end of the fourth_concert.ly document, the output looks nothing like it does in the ossia_staves.ly document. The notes are all several octaves higher, a new staff is created, and the ossia staves are misaligned. They look fine in their own document, but when I put the code into the existing document, it becomes a disaster. Does anybody know how I can successfully recreate the two ossia staves as they appear in the ossia_staves.ly document in the fourth_concert.ly document instead; i.e. how I can insert them into the fourth concert without the output going completely haywire? I have no idea what the problem is and nothing I have tried has worked. Any help would be appreciated!
